Dell has officially introduced the SP2008WFP, its first desktop LCD monitor with a built-in webcam. The 20" widescreen monitor features a 1680x1050 resolution panel, 2-millisecond response time, 2000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 300cd/m2 brightness, four USB 2.0 ports, built-in 2.0 megapixel webcam with microphone, and both VGA and DVI (with HDCP) ports. It also features Dell's TrueLife Technology for greater contrast resulting in deeper, more vibrant reds, blues and sparkling whites. The Dell SP2008WFP is available now and priced at $289.

Yeah, it looks like it's been attached to its bracket upside down. I bet the picture quality is excellent, though. Some people say that Dell screens have a better picture than the Apple Studio Displays - although that might be blastphemy on a site like this! _________________Intel Mini 2.0GHz C2D (4GB/120GB/SuperDrive/10.5.8 ), 120GB WD Passport, Logitech ergo k/b

This is really an attractive display. The extra height at the top wouldn't bother me either. Here's the part that worries me: (I mean aside from not knowing if the webcam works in OS X.) It has a glossy screen.

It looks like Dell is releasing a 22-incher with a webcam in Japan. I wouldn't doubt that it makes its way over here soon. They also have a new 24". That figures, I just bought one a couple of weeks ago.

You can see the input level in your system preferences > sound > input with a little monitor showing what's going in. (Basically any program you have with sound input should have a little monitor at least in the setup screen)

I think someone mentioned an echo. You are probably just getting some speaker in your mic. If you are chatting with someone, do them a favor and use some headphones, even the ipod earbuds are better than speakers.
